So ... another chance to tell this story. No, I was not personally involved.

Once upon a time in Chapel Hill, around 2-3 in the morning, a policeman chanced upon one gentleman performing oral sex on another gentleman in a parking lot. This was before the SC ruling and these gentlemen were placed under arrest for icky naughtiness and indecent exposure.

Now Chapel Hill is a rather liberal town and no way was the DA going to charge anyone with naughtiness but, even in Chapel Hill, public fellatio is frowned upon. So he charged the man with exposed hoo-hah with indecent exposure.

Which is when it was discovered that under NC law (at that time at least), the law limited indecent exposure to exposure of naughty bits to those of the opposite sex.

Astros. Houston Astros.
What kind of players on the Astros?
Fat ones, skinny ones, ones who can't draw walks.
Old ones, baby ones, bums who lay there like a lox.
Your Astros. Houston Astros.
The team that loves to bite.

Scully's first season as an MLB announcer was with the 1950 Dodgers, which featured Preacher Roe. Roe's first season in the majors was 1938.

It's conceivable that Harper could play well into the 2030s (he'll be 37 in 2030), perhaps even to 2038...meaning Vin Scully will have announced the exploits of major-leaguers that played a full century apart.

Re: #21-- We can jump ahead, or backwards, by 5 years. Chicago's Dutch Leonard debuted in 1933, and he played through 1953. Scully would have seen plenty of him, so now all you need is a 40-year-old Bryce Harper.

Or Phil Cavaretta, who played 15 games against the Dodgers in 1950, and debuted in 1934.

We could play this by observers, though of course they can span a longer range than mere broadcasters. I've seen Lindy McDaniel and Jurickson Profar, but then, I'm still a youngster. My father, now deceased, saw Gabby Hartnett and Ryan Howard. Human lives are long, and baseball careers are short

In junior high, a friend and I were on our way back from a pickup game on foot when a driver approached who asked where Joe Roberts lived. We was a bit nonplussed when we discovered that he wasn't wearing any pants. He circled the block and stopped again and asked, "So boys, how'd you like my dick?"

As to the story linked: The Curse of the DH should be the title, DH standing for ########.

Now is the time to ask if President Tyler's (that's 10th US president Tyler) grandsons are still living.
